Hi, Sue, and congratulations on the new computer! I hope it's working out well for you. It sounds like you need to make a file association. How do you normally open BRF files? Go into My Computer and find the file you're wanting to open. Instead of hitting Enter, go into the File menu with Alt-F, then choose the Open With submenu. From there, choose which program you want to use and that should work for you. If you do hit enter, you'll get a message that Windows doesn't know which program to use, and from that dialog box, you can choose the program and have it open that type of file with that program all the time from then on, and that'll create the file association you need. You can find Word Pad, I believe in Start Menu, All Programs Submenu, then the Accessories submenu, so I'm sure Word Pad is still there. Take care.

It is DSL and does not want me to open brf files after I download them. I can unpack them, but when I want to open the book it does not like that. What shall I do? Grace, just in case you have tried to post to me about To Catch a Golden Ring, I do have msword and am still interested in validating it. Regards to all, Sue S.
